for DL grip, try hook grip. super uncomfortable at first, hands adapt. makes a big difference.

when was the last time you tested 1RM for the squat? my guess is your signature is out of date now if you're hitting 255x5x5.

Seems like you and your gorgeous lady friend are spending some quality time together... happy for you man.
TMI, but this was a purely ass-based bout of food poisoning. last time i had it i puked an astonishing amount and had diarrhea, so this time wasn't as bad. still, need to get my hands on some gatorade or similar on my way to work later (working from home this morning).
and yeah, QT is good. fuck me, i'm still embarrassed by that post.

i always forget you work daffy hours. for me 233 hours is 29 days of vacation (8 hour workday). still, not bad. and a six-week sabbatical sounds amazing. i had an unpaid one last year and it was amazing. imagine i'll take another whenever i leave here for good.
you've been with the same company since you were 19?
also, what are you gonna do on your forced day off?

yesterday
- hike x ~4 miles
had to stop because friend's groin, which she strained running months ago now, started acting up when the going got steep. she wanted to keep going but i initialized anti-ego hiking squad.
tonight
- food poisoning-induced trips to the porcelain throne x 6 and counting
fuuuuuck being sick. left work early, thought i could take a nap and wake up and get some work done, but i feel worse now than i did before. hard to stay hydrated.

« on: February 27, 2017, 01:29:29 am »No training over the weekend. Spent about 11 hours in the garden basically doing hard labour removing trees and digging. Shoulders and hands took the brunt of the work and didn't feel like training would be of much benefit to me at that point. Back into it tonight.
heavy yard work is the best shit. owning a place with a proper yard is a goal down the line for many reasons, but being able to plant and prune and chop and all that is one.

« on: February 25, 2017, 03:23:03 pm »still trying to increase the range for my 3 pointers too. lower body wise, seems like glutes are very important for shooting.
yep. i'm a bad basketball player so take this with a grain of salt, but when i cue myself to pop my hips when i'm shooting my % skyrockets.

SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none
MENTAL STATE: good, a little too relaxed
- warm up
- pull up x 8,8,9
guh
- bench 80 x 8,6
see above re: too relaxed
- superset x 2
-- tricep pressdown 50 x 10
-- DB curl 12s x 10
something in my left hand always feels off when doing curls. it's weird and uncomfortable. doesn't bother me during any other movement.
- shrug 40s x 10
- stretch
**drive home**
- squat friend ~60kg x 15
had a lot more in the tank obviously but stopped early because we were on her concrete patio and the ground rushing up at her on the eccentrics freaked her out a little. gonna try again another time, maybe with a bed or couch close by that she could bail onto, would be interesting to see if i could get to 40 with her on my shoulders. on the plus side, knee feels great.

« on: February 24, 2017, 08:16:33 am »ikea is a weird first date, man. maybe ask her on a more traditional first date.
yeh you right. i didnt meet her on some online dating app tho. knew her irl kinda thru acquintances so i cant just ask her out straight up, would be a bit akward if she declined. but nevermind, at least i wont waste more time now. also girls will agree to something just to go out wiht you and then change the venue/activity to suit them in my experience .. it's saying yes thats' important not so much what you initially propose doing
ah, then yeah best to be careful. a friend of mine is dealing with a related situation right now: crushing on/flirting with her neighbor but needing to play it real slow and make super sure he's interested before she makes a move because he lives literally 20 feet away from her. don't want to create an awkward-elevator situation if you don't have to
